Item: Foolish Virgin Bar Mermaid Virgin Isle Hotel St Thomas VI PostcardPostcard Type: Standard (5.5x3.5in)Printed Title: Foolish Virgin BarSubject: HotelPrinted Description: Three foolish virgins came out of the sea, Each bearing a pearl as her dowery Which she traded with fisherman for butterflies; These being ecstasies well in disguise. When the maids realized that their doweries were gone, As the fisherman sailed with the boat they were on, Each mermaid swam seaward with glance at the shore, Knowing perfectly well they\'d been foolish galore. On a site carved out of a mountain top, THE VIRGIN ISLE is a symbol of new world hospitality. An architectural tribute to the verdant grandeur of the Virgin Islands, its majestic gardens and its commanding vistas qualify THE VIRGIN ISLE to reign as \'Queen of the Caribbean.\' Modern as tomorrow, THE VIRGIN ISLE offers every luxury and comfort known to man.City or Town: St. ThomasState or Region: Virgin IslandsCountry: United StatesPostcard Era: Photochrome (1939-present)Publisher or Printer: Genuine Hankel Litho-Color Postcard-Chicago 10, Ill.Publication or Copyright date: Photographer: Posted or unposted: unpostedPostmark: Addressed to: Handwritten Note: Postcard description: The vintage postcard features a mermaid on the front, promoting the \"Foolish Virgin Bar\" at the Virgin Isle Hotel in St. Thomas, V.I.
